They speak a very cultivated Swabian in Schwaebisch Gmuend. The so called "Honoratiorenschwaebisch".
BTW - The "Black Forrest" is about 150 - 200 km away (this is quite a distance in such small countries like Germany) in the south-west direction. I am living near the Black Forrest and the Lake Constance in a small town called Trossingen.
